The end of the series is near, but a new HBO show, based on the award-winning novel will comfort all of those looking to satisfy their post-void. Even better? George R.R. Martin is in the hot seat once again as the new show’s executive producer.

Nigerian-American author Nnedi Okorafor took to Facebook to make a big announcement about the TV adaptation about her first adult novel,and it’ll certainly hook fantasy fans.

According to the post, she wrote,

I’m finally free to announce this: My World Fantasy Award winning novel has been optioned by HBO and is now in early development as a TV series with George R. R. Martin as executive producer. Note: This did not happen overnight. It’s been nearly 4 years coming.

Though has been a explosive asset to the fantasy genre, will be a win for diversity, as the show willfocus on an African setting and themes. (and the fantasy/sci-fi genre in general) have been criticized for being overwhelmingly white.
